The economical part will require a more long premise, I hope to not become too boring.
We cannot deny that our economical system is not stable.
Not stable in the sense that we NEED to push always forward the economy, we cannot let it stagnate in a balanced status.
We need to continue producing richness, spending money, and grow.
We are like a man that is running, we cannot stop moving the legs, or we will fall face down.
the market (in some sense the new divinity) is our main leg, it need to keep expanding, for two main reasons.
We need more consumers (consume), and we need more resources (including low cost workforce).
so, for it's own survival, our system have to expand, and, since is a fight for survival, it do it in an aggressive manner.
To make a long premise short, we can attribute this force to all the parts of the economical system, the entities that we can put in a group and call them "economical powers".
The expantion of consume can happen, or expanding simply the number of customers, or expanding the needings of the already acquired customers base.
The latter is made in the inside, and we are well trained to be victim of the new toys that we are convinced are necessary for our survival.
The former is a little more difficult, and is made using first the "image", then the pressure on the debt (there are no countries in the world that dont own something to us), and, looking at the last tendence, even using armed force.
Anyway, the world is not so naive as we like to think, and the powers of many muslim countries, that have a delicate balance, mainly based on a stable economical system, a firmly religion permeated culture, see our aggressive penetration in their world as a menace to the status quo.
In theese cases, everything that comes from us is evil, we are evil, we are the enemy, a powerfull enemy.
With theese premises, let's look inside our system.
Gain support.
In our system, to be visible, to buy the hearts and minds, you need MONEY.
Unless you have your own (and in this case you are already part of the economic powers), you need support by the economic powers.
This means that you have, later, to pay your debt for the support given (Haliburton ring a bell?).
In both cases, you need to keep the expantion running, to mantain the (perceived or not) aggression toward the different cultures.
On the other side of the coin, even if, by absurd, you'll not mantain your word, and you'll try to think on a longer term, thus avoiding (or try) to expand so aggressively, you'll have worse consequences.
Trying to stop the run of the economy have a nice effect, it worsen the lifestyle of your voters.... uh oh.... BAAAAD.
It's a No-win situation, you need to mantain the running.
So, for the outside, at this point, you need to develope a way to do it "softly".
You have to play hidden, dirty tricks, while mantaining an innocent face.
The western countries, and the USA between them, as a leader, have done this in the last century.
There were many suspects, second guesses, but nothing that cut have been blatantly proved.
But GWB Jr. does'nt care, it's inebriated (??) by this superpower delirium.
9/11 has happened with the worse president possible.
A Roosvelt, a Kennedy, a Reagan, heck, even "BJ" Clinton or GWB senior cut have treated the thing better.
After 9/11, during the Afganistan work, there has been a moment in wich the USA could have obtained the impossible by the rest of the world (do you remember?).
With this Iraq mess the future is darker than ever, and we will ALL pay for this.
